Wireless Printing

To print from your PC laptop, you will need to download and install print software for each printer that you use in the Reference Center. Once the software is installed, each printer becomes an option when you go to print.

To print from your PC laptop in the Reference Center, download and install either of the following print drivers:

• Reference Center B&W
• Reference Center Color

These drivers can only be downloaded from a WPA connected laptop or VPN connection from off campus. Standard NetPrint Rates apply to wireless printing.
